Winter Craft

This is a very cute and inexpensive craft to spruce up your home during the drab winter. I found that after my Christmas stuff was all put away, I had nothing to spruce up my home until Valentines Day came.

Supplies:

Wooden Blocks (you can find pre-cut packages at your local craft store)

Vinyl Lettering

Scrapbook paper

Embellishments (ribbon, jewels, buttons, etc.)

Modgepodge

Glue Gun

Scissors

How To:

Step 1: Sand blocks to create a smooth surface.

Step 2: Paint blocks color of your choice to coordinate with your paper.

Step 3: Trace blocks onto paper. Make sure to alternate colors and patterns to your preference.

Step 4: When you cut out your paper, cut it an 1/8 inch smaller than the line you traced to make sure the modgepodge will seal paper to blocks. It also give a nice decorative edge to you paper with the painted blocks showing on the sides.

Step 5: Apply a thin layer of modgepodge to the block. Work out any bubbles and let dry. (The thinner the layer of modgepodge=less bubbles)

Step 6: Apply your vinyl lettering followed by another thin layer of modgepodge to seal everything.

Step 7: Using the hot glue gun apply embellishments to your preference.
